First Major American Victory Celebrated

Fort Sumter and Fort Moultrie are celebrating the 250th anniversary of the Battle of Sullivan’s Island—the first major American victory over the British Navy in the Revolutionary War—with a two-day blast of history this weekend. Expect musket demos, living history reenactors, colonial crafts, and a junior ranger program, all set against the backdrop of South Carolina’s iconic palmetto flag. Though often overshadowed by later defeats, this win is a cornerstone of American resilience. The park’s been gearing up for a year, readying for up to 10,000 guests with free shuttle buses loaded with swag, a special film, and a Sunday ceremony complete with flyovers. Just bring water—it’s gonna be hot. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
